Hi guys, I'm really interested in working in Singapore, just wanted to ask a few things about applying for jobs there.

1. The 4 links given in the first page of the thread, they're singapore sites for job recruitments, do I just register as a Malaysian and apply there? Previously I've only applied through Malaysia's own jobstreet.
2. Do I apply for every possible job regardless of my status as a Malaysian? Or do I stay away from "Only singapore citizens or people with relevant status should apply" and only apply for those that don't state that and jobs that state "Malaysians are welcome to apply" ?

No harm in trying as they used to say, but dont push your luck or be ignorant about these matters. Like if your looking for a job, dont expect to be entertained if your hopeful employer is ST Defence industries, dont expect them to hire non-singaporeans.

Theres a reason why they say "For singaporean citizens only", if they open the job market, sure many singaporean will be out of jobs and singapore will become a haven for china and indian nationals.

Hmm true, thanks for your advice.

What about the first question though, I'll just register as a Malaysian in Singapore job-seeking sites?

well, we have about sgd10billion of deal to be delivered in the near future.
anyway, i hope the economy will recover asap so that our bonus will be higher.

yeah, afaik S pass holder confirm will kena.
not sure about income tax for EP and work permit.

i just know nicvoo also kena.
i got the refund after appeal with IRAS.

Try registering as a Jamaican. I hear they get the most favourable responses.

Wasn't sure if companies would like it since their sites technically cater to singaporeans only.

Thanks for the old-fashioned sarcasm though, thought it went extinct since the prehistoric era.

Nope, it's still alive and kicking, especially reserved for people who are unsure of their nationality.

Or would you prefer the more traditional Singaporean... "ah but then?"? Or the quintessential PCK... "use your blain"?

Me, I just found the Jamaican thing more amusing.

Anyway... what choice do you have if you're asked to state your nationality? Bluff that you're Singaporean... apply for the job first... and only tell them you're Malaysian after they interviewed & come to know the 'real' you?

The question was about whether it's feasible to register and apply in a Singapore site as a non-Singaporean, sorry if you failed to comprehend my question.

No worries. No need to apologise as it's obviously the school's fault for failing to teach how to properly frame questions. Nothing to do with you.

kena but get back in the end no harm done was using ep so all also kena regardless of s or e


seantang love your sarcasm hahaha brightens up my mood

Wouldnt it apply to EP holders since EP is technically higher then S pass, if S pass are required to pay income tax, so would EP logically. If i not mistaken u have to earn above $22000 a year to be eligible for income tax in singapore right? If below that dont need to pay income tax so the 15% issue will be a non-issue?

Just moody lah. Work's been tough. There's a real expectation right now of at best, haircuts and worse, rolling heads. And we in Singapore are under pressure from our China office folks, whom the bosses in Shanghai are already hinting that their people need 2 tea-ladies working 8 hour shifts each because they spend such long hours in the office.

Luckily most of them are new and need the old hands in Singapore to train them. Guess who's always too busy to conduct training?

Anyway, knighty, my apologies.

not so good here comp manpower not enuf financial crisis decide cannot hire so reshuffle staff those whose projects r n hold o delayed move to on going projects so 1 person 3-4 projects take care of the head not in time to take care of the tail sigh

is there a public place to smoke in Singapore?

Please advise is working in Singapore recommended for a Malay?

it's equal opportunity here, and if you can live with meritocracy.

But AFAIK, Malays will surely suffer here for what I seen so far working here.

1) Companies normally won't tolerate Malays to go for Fridays prayers unless you are willing to skip ur lunch for prayers.

2) Very hard to find mosques to pray unlike in Malaysia unless you are so lucky able to find one just opposite ur office.

3) For makan, it's a bit difficult for faithful Malys bcos normally food courts sells pork rice... the next stall can sell halal food.... and some of my frens even say SG got halal punya babi... On top of that, its extremely difficult to search for halal food... there are so little mamak stalls here...

4) I have even heard bosses here in SG prefer more Chinese than Malays bcos they know Mandarin.... but the fact is many Malays dunno Mandarin....

That's why I am asking some Malays here to give some advice bcos my Malay fren is interested to earn some SGD in SG....

1)my company give muslims longer break on Friday.(12.30-2.30pm)

2)there is a mosque 10 minutes away.

3)we have malay stall in our company, there is another malay stall at a food court nearby.
